Episode #263 of “Media Edge” (May 22-24):

"Peak Moment" (26 minutes)
Nevada County, California locals Jim Wray and Loraine Webb demonstrate the how and why of packaging bulk foods with nitrogen. They’re using equipment
available for community members to use at minimal cost. Jim demonstrates packaging: make plastic bags using a heat sealer, fill with foodstuffs, suck out the oxygen with a small vacuum, then replace the air with nitrogen and seal. Loraine, organizer of The Neighborhood Readiness Project, has arranged with several locally-owned grocery stores to sell 25 pound bags of grains, beans and other bulk foods at just above cost. Loraine’s vision is our having food caches in every neighborhood in the county, so that, if the trucks stop rolling in an emergency, we’ll have food for ourselves AND to share with our neighbors.

"Hiwar" (12 minutes)
Iraqi artists and writers wanted a cultural centre in Baghdad for years. After the war with Iran, the 1991 Gulf War and ongoing sanctions, they could not wait for peace. So the Hiwar Centre was opened in 1992 and is being re-built.

"Fourth World War" (76 minutes)
While our airwaves are crowded with talk of a new world war, narrated by generals and filmed from the noses of bombs, the human story of global conflict remains untold. "Fourth World War" brings together the images and voices of the war on the ground. It is a story of a war without end and of those who resist, produced through a global network of independent media and activist groups.
